Shopping Tips For Packs

Hiking in the backcountry? Need a snowboard backpack to hold all of your valuables, lunch, avalanche gear, and snowboard equipment? There are many great types of backpacks on the market that are well suited for the backcountry and snowboarding. Most snowboard backpacks carry the snowboard vertically on the front of the pack. Using two straps to securely fasten the snowboard to the front of the backpack, you can easily snowshoe, hike, or use tele skis to access the fresh powder of the backcountry. While most snowboard packs carry the snowboard vertically, there are some snowboard packs that carry the snowboard horizontally. While carrying the snowboard horizontally is great to balance the weight, it is not as ideal to hike through the trees or do any scrambling on the rocks. Some snowboard packs can carry both snowboards and skis which makes for a great combination if you use tele skis to enter into the backcountry and a snowboard to ride down the bowls. Once you settle on the most ideal snowboard pack for your purposes, check into the other features that make a snowboard pack a worthwhile purchase. First, hydration packs (platypus, camelbak) are a great way to stay hydrated while reducing your pack carrying weight. Side loops on the snowboard pack are key to transport an avalanche snow shovel and other key avalanche safety gear. Finally, check out the padding and back support. Having a waist strap on the snowboard pack is a great way to distribute the weight evenly and some waist straps have a camera attachment which is an ideal way to capture the many memories you gain by snowboarding in the backcountry.
